Thanks folks!
My JAE Planning Team firstly. (Chris, Vinny, Andy and Mark) Us all working together to make sure everything went off hitch free,
To Rachel (aka Foxystuff) for putting up with my constant JAE ramblings over the past 3 months.
To all our JAE competitors, we'd have not won all our silverware without your commitment to the activities. If you guys and gals hadn't put your bodies to the cause be it pain, humiliation, soaking or amusement
The unwavering support from all the OC crowd on the sidelines of the IKO events. Believe me, all that shouting and cheering makes one hell of a difference!
To Fuggles, Ruggles and his tribe of helpers laying on a fantastic event for us to attend.
The JAE regulars
The JAE noobies! (without you new guys to replace the old who move on to pastures new, we'd not have a stand loaded with gorgeous MR2's) Some fantastic new folk this year and always great to put a name to a face
This was my fourth JAE (third on the planning team) and probably my best thus far. So the weather could have been much better but certainly helped galvanise us as a group, making a real social occasion of it all.
Wish i could be more literate but I feel pretty tired and could do with some quality shut eye .... on a bed that doesn't need pumping up three times a night
So ... until next year.

Re: Thanks folks!
Perhaps if you spent the night in your tent rather sneeking back to the marque after everyone else had left you might not be as tired

Re: Thanks folks!
Bring on next year.
Can't say any more than has been said.
What an awesome club. This was my first jae with the oc but it felt like a proper family.
Dan maybe a flashing beacon on top of your tent so rach can find it next year.

HI there
I know i was on another stand but it was good to meet up with you, great to meet TLF at last
My goodness how close was i to throwing the towel, on Friday night, just as it was that wet it was too heavy to throw!!!!
Dan & Rachel obviously your good for each other both looking well and above all esle happy, and now i found out about how the "womble" tag came to pass, even funnier Dave & Laura again you both look really well
Chris loving the TRD long may it keep you grinning like a Cheshire cat, Pete despite the "highland drive" "effect" still a nice car
Mark, Andy, Red, chri/mike etc, see guys next year if not before
Glad everyone got home safely all the best one & all
regards Brian
